    In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

    There is going to be an assload of fingerpointing.

    Here is my take: even if Kamala won, there is a deep rot that we would be in denial about. Trump should have broken the Republican party but did not and instead galvanized support through misinformation, lies, and hatred. That would not have been cured if Kamala won. At least now we have to be honest with the state of the US.

    Still, we can hope he dies of a heart attack.

      The people who will be in power around him might well get rid of him themselves for all the use they want. He’s getting them to power. Vance and Musk and Thiel and whoever the fuck else don’t care about Trump. They want power.

      Trump dying of a heart attack (or whatever) is even more frightening with Vance in the mix.

    And it wasn’t even close… Holy shit America, what the fuck is wrong with you.

    So there was a lot of “I will get rid of my political opponents” in this election. Political assaesinations were explicitly okayed by that corrupt bunch called the supreme Court, sooooo… Can we expect a whole lotta “kamela walked by an open window and shit happened” type situations?

    He talked about dozens of millions of people that would be deported right away, where to? Mexico won’t just be able to accept millions of refugees, how would any of that work?

    Then climate… The world literally is fucked. Climate chante is through the roof and multiple points of no return have come and passed. There are still things we sorta can do if we really step up and work hard on it, invest a lot of money. That’s all gone, so yeah… Expect major catastrophes within the decade thanks to this, fuck you America, you are killing the world

    Loads of women will die, but then again, they already did in the past years and nobody gave a shit to really stop that.

    Ukraine is fucked, Europe will now have to take over it’s defense. NATO will suffer and likely continue without the US, I guess?

    Palestinians are fucked, they’ll die. Sorry guys by at least some people got to vote for Stein!

    So we have a Jesus will come back cult controlled by Putin in charge of 5,500 nukes and this time they’ve prepared, nothing yo see here.

    What else?

    Oooohhh, project 2025!

    Military will he used against US citizens, meh, they called that in themselves at his point

    Press freedoms will go away

    Personal freedoms will go away

    Polarization in he county is at its maximum

    And again, we haver a jeebus cult why Nikes who want to bring the happy news yo the entire world. Trump already threatened to invade Mexico before so…

    One wonders how fucked up the next decades will be for everyone.

    Wil there be a US civil war? I think it’s an actual fair question. How many rights can a king take away before people say, enough? Maybe one can hope for a coup?

    All of this is insane, yet, correct me if I’m wrong here, at least half of the above will likely happen

    Yay Americans, you got what you wanted

      Well, when the Nazis initially started “getting rid” of Jews they started with deportation and other countries refused to take them.

      Given how that turned out I’m sure it will be fine.

      Voters were presented with a choice between a baloney sandwich and a literal pile of human shit, and enough people whined that the sandwich didn’t have mayo.

      Edit: I will not be engaging with you, as I’ve said before.

        Well, when that baloney sandwich spends the whole campaign saying “I can smell like a pile of human shit too!” it should be obvious why it lost to an actual pile of human shit.

        Maybe you should ask yourself why a baloney sandwich was hand picked over something like a patty melt, club, or BLT and why that baloney sandwich was more concerned with trying to look like a pile of human shit than a delicious sandwich.

        You just gotta love the hallucinations people get when talking about certain groups. <Insert favorite group> were civil and masters of hidden science and never fought wars, that’s all inventions of the evil white man! We neeeeever did slaves, only white men did, and my group is so cultured, man!

        The US right now is the strongest player on the world, but do not for a second think that your group would do less evil if they were in the place of the US.

    Compared to 4 years ago, his popular vote hasn’t changed much, but over 10m blue voters didn’t come back. That made all the difference. Joe Biden I did that sticker

      Americans… maybe… at least those stupid enough to vote for this guy again.
      I feel bad for the Americans who knew what Trump stood for and voted Harris to at least prevent that.

      The rest of the world doesn’t deserve this though… And Trump will still affect them and their lives in many ways.

      Are you advocating for political violence? If so, Mr. Fed, why don’t you keep this discussion where people can’t take screenshots to make people on your side look unhinged?
